Tiesto Biography Music has always been the biggest passion in Tiesto's life and he felt the need to share that passion with other people. Between 1985 and 1993 he performed as a resident at several clubs in holland and in these years he developed an important foundation. Together with Arny Bink he founded tge record company Black Hole Recordings which provides the world with all sorts of quality dance music. On Black Hole Tiesto has his own Magik and In Search Of Sunrise Series, which are very succesful all over the globe. He also mixed the first two Space Age volumes, and most recently Nyana. His remix of Delerium Featuring Sarh McLachlan - The Silence was the first house track ever broadcasted on daytime radio in northe america and was four weeks in the U.K. top 10 chart. In 2001 Tiesto started a new sublabel, MAGIK MUZIK which is providing the world with Tiesto's finest productions and his favourite tracks. The first releases were the 2001 anthems Flight 643 and his long awaited artist album In My Memory, and lately massive anthems from Umerk, Mark Norman and Mr Sam vs. Fred Baker. Summer 2002 Black Hole Recordings UK is born, a sister company set up to service the english market. After winning almost every dance related award in 2002 a crown was put on his career by being voted the number 1 DJ in the world in DJ Magazine's top 100. The year 2003 has been a year filled with highlights. Tiesto is now officially the first DJ in the world ever to sell out a stadium event with a solo performance for over 25.000 people. Like Nyana, the Tiesto In Concert DVD has reached the gold status, same for the hitsingle Traffic which is the first instrumental track to reach the numner 1 chart position in 23 years. In 2003 Tiesto has won 3 TMF awards (Holland & Belgium), 2 Dutch DJ awards, one MTV holland award, and was again number 1 in DJ Magzine's top 100, first time a DJ got this spot twice in a row.

RR: What equipment do you use to produce in terms of hardware and software?
Tiesto: " I use Cubase .. on the PC actually .. I'm one of the few PC users I guess .. and my favorite equipment at the moment is the Moog Voyager with the expansion boards .. it sounds phenominal." Source: www.homeofmusic.com, RRebel Tiesto : (on Tiesto in Concert and the Olympics) " Well, I think Tiesto in Concert was still the best night of my life. The Olympics was absolutely amazing as well but it is a totally different thing. It was to play for 4 billion people who don't really realize it when you are DJ-ing. So it was very different but absolutely amazing as well of course. And the set I picked out together with the musical director from Greece. He wanted me to remix special tracks for the ceremony. So a few classical tracks and an old Greek track. And so thats what I did. And yeah it was a great night but it was very different than a normal DJ set." Source: Tiesto community. RR: What do you preffer to be known as, Tiesto or DJ Tiesto? I know neither is your actual your real name? Tiesto : " Well it's both actually, because Tiesto is the producer and DJ Tiesto is obviously the DJ, so when I put out an artist album, it's called Tiesto because it's my own original music, and when I do a DJ mix album it's "DJ Tiesto"" Source: www.homeofmusic.com, RRebel RR: What equipment do you use to produce in terms of hardware and software? Tiesto: " South America was a complete new experience for me, I never expected such a passionate and enthusiastic crowd. I was overwhelmed by the gigs in Colombia and Chile and Argentina. Every continent has its own charms and crowds I must say, so yes they all differ. South America is certainly a continent where I want to return" Source: www.harderfaster.net, Sharon B |
